Baby chicks are $3.99ea at Tractor Supply Co. I repeat: a freshly-hatched friend is the price of a whopper at Tractor Supply Co!!!!!!!

Carolina Wren (Thryothorus ludovicianus) fledglings can look rather ungainly for a few days.

for the LONGEST time ive asked for chickens and finally got a trio! i baby-sat a lamb and their clutch (in an incubator) over the last week for my mom's friend and these guys hatched early, they were supposed to hatch tuesday but hatched sunday instead!

I'm gonna do the thing where you take a picture of them everyday to track growth and post them here. They're 4 days old today

haven't decided on names yet, but i do have a name theme in mind :3

This is possibly the funniest thing I’ve ever said

I had to replace the actuator on the coop door today. It was a tricky job, but luckily I had an experienced technician to assist me:

Not really a puppy update, but kind of one anyways:

Over the course of this year, our neighborhood has been increasingly unsafe. From very occasional incidents over the years we've been here, to multiple shootings and murders within a quarter mile of our house, just in the past couple months we're at 7-8 incidents. I even was outside about 20ft away from people shooting at each other in their cars (terrifying). Our county has had a couple city council sessions to try and address the violence. But, tbh, I just don't think I'm able to feel safe here. Which is to say, essentially, in the hopefully nearer-than-not future, we will be moving.

As much as I badly want Misty to have a sister and as disappointing as it is to have the ideal timeline disrupted, future miss felony probably exists at least a year, maybe even two, away. Unless some maybe maybes happen. On the brightside, a non-negotiable is a bigger yard/more land, so the pup(s) will be very happy with their zoom space.

Thinking up character interactions is fun

like

Jaern would be shunned by all of Torren, but this man would sit down and have an hour long conversation with literally anyone

So I was thinking of getting him and Zenith to just hang out from time to time. Like ‘Yeah we had basically opposing goals before but now that’s all blown outta the water wanna go get some lunch together and hang out’

And they’d talk to one another about how things are going, and whatever their goals are for that week or month or whatever

And whenever Singed and Oracle leave for whatever, he takes care of their Torchics

Doing what I should have done when I set these coops up & finally painting the insides of them! Before and after pics bc the transformation is 🤌 incredible lol (technically forgot to take a before pic of the coop I did so it's not the same coop in the after but they all look a bit similar so it works)

Absolutely did not expect for this to take as long as it did. Figured it'd be a couple hours project and wound up out there all day. Worth it though because it looks so much nicer and will be way easier to keep clean now!

I seemed stuck for a bit, but this Pine Tree Spur-Throat Grasshopper (Melanoplus punctulatus) marks my 600th species on iNaturalist...
